Just picked up a TRP Operator. The guy at the gun store sold me on this because he has one. It's nice to know someone is willing to help prevent headaches! Second Amendment Sports in McHenry, IL. Great store with awesome staff! Thanks for a great video, and thanks to Bryan at Second Amendment Sports!
Wow thanks for this video ! I purchased my full rail 1911 operator thinking it would be a pain to clean needing a paper clip all the time ! I’m definitely going to purchase this for sure now ‘ GAME CHANGER !
LOL, the simplicity of the Glock (I own 4). I know $75 bucks sounds like a lot but if you own a TRP Operator then it's worth every penny. Thx for watching!
Excellent! Sadly...on my very first take down, I gave my TRP the damned scratch, but lesson learned. This gun will stay with me for another 25 years or so, so I am not too upset about my stupid mistake. I will be ordering the Dawson rod today!!! Mine is 3/4 rail, so the rod will make life much easier. Thanks! Subscribed!
Juan - thanks for this video - i bought the guide rod and installed it on my TRP today (which i only got 2 weeks ago) - perfect video and i thanked the guys at DP as well. BTW for the other TRP owners out there who reload...try 4.0GR of Bullseye with 185 grain SWC, JSWC or JHP with COAL of 1.215"...nothing but x's out of this gun!!! :) :) :)
I bought one as well and in my opinion if your going to spend the money to buy a top shelf pistol like the TRP Operator this is a MUST. You wouldn’t buy a Ferrari with a 4 cylinder don’t pass on this Dawson.
yes. they are very nice. theres no need to have to have special tools to dissasemble. the only issue i have is how close i made the tolerances on mine between the compensator/barrel/guide rod plug. its a bit tight and can be a bit finicky
Just dropped in a FLGR with a compensator on my G.I. 1911....LOL this is alot trickier than I initially expected. Easy to get on, still have yet to get it off.
@42cujo because of the bull barrel there is no bushing. You would have to fit a regular barrel and bushing, then you could use the GI guide-rod. In the place of the bushing, there's a reverse plug on the inside attached to the guide-rod. It really works flawless with or without the Dawson but the disassembly and reassembly is much easier with it. Hope this helps, jr
This is great information for someone wanting this pistol but may not know about the guide rod needing a tool in order to disassemble the pistol, even for a simple field strip... Also very informative for someone that may know about needing the tool, but doesn’t know about an alternative from a trusted place like Dawson, and might be hesitant buying the pistol as needing a special tool just for field stripping may be a deal breaker for some people... thank you for making this vid 👍
I have a full rail TRP with the Dawson guide rod, about 1,500 ish rounds since 1 year ago and worked great, all of a sudden the spring is jammed inside the guide tube (?) and jams up...the guide rod dangling out the front with no tension on it. Cant figure out what is wrong or different ..nothing looks wrong..if I shake it a couple times it snaps free...
I've had 500+ rounds without a hitch and when it's all put together the guide rod doesn't come in contact with any metal as the reverse plug centers everything. I'm glad you like it and hope it works for you as it did for me, jr
The Operator is a railed gun. I have a stainless also that uses the two piece guide rod, just like yours. Unfortunately this tool-less guide rod only works with a bull-barrel / bushing-less gun. My next move will be to go with the GI configuration and eliminate the need for the hex wrench. My only reason for the GI setup is to ditch the wrench, not because I think one is more accurate than the other. To me, simple is better. Thx for watching!
I have 2, STI 2011's. they sent a plastic tool that makes it a little easier to take down the bull barrel on my VIP. now that I have the TRP FULL RAIL, WITH THE BULL BARREL, I think I just might have to spend the extra money. I had no idea that the tool less guide rod worked that easy. dawson used to be a gunsmith for STI, that guy must be a genius. surely he's got the patent on that ! thnx juanriv01
@Clapacino I have gotten flyers with the 3/4, but I attribute that to the rear sight. It's like the factory sights on Glocks. I didn't realize how bad they made me shoot. Some people love the wide open sight picture but the moment I went with Trijicons and closed the gaps, my shots started to hit POA. Plus the edges on the TRP adjustable's snag on loose clothing. Harrison custom has a rear sight that works great for the TRP Operator. In my opinion, the sights have to go (that's just me)
@Clapacino 1. Springfield has been making the loaded model with the 2 piece & the TRP with the full length guide rod for a long time. I have all 3 TRP's and I can tell you that they all shoot better than I can or am capable of. The bull-barrel/full length setup is used by all major manufacturers. In this setup the bull-barrel lockup is what provides the accuracy and the Springfield TRP has very tight tolerances. The only reason people complain about the guide rod setup is because of the....
@Clapacino 2. takedown requires either a paper clip with the full length or a hex wrench with the two piece guide rod. I have the the stainless no-rail TRP with the GI setup, regular barrel and bushing setup, and I shoot better with the half rail (the trigger feels heavier on the stainless). The only change I'm making to both my full & half-rail is changing out the rear adjustable sight with the 10-8 combat sight. I did install the Dawson Tool-less just to ditch the stupid paper clip, juanriv01
Put one on my prodigy it was over 100$ makes assembly and disassembly quick and easy. Well worth the money. It's a bushing not a plug. Take your slide off your gun remove spring and rod remove barrel you do not have to capture outside of system first
Juan, the reason I think your barrel lug got dinged is because you allowed the slide to catapult forward as you released the slide stop. The proper way is to simply ease the slide forward using the same hand to hold the slide & frame. This way, the guide rod/spring assembly gently mates with the plug without the velocity of the slide/barrel assembly going forward.
+walnutrd 1911's are built like tanks and don't require finesse to handle. Whether you sling it or use the slide stop the results should be the same without causing any issues. I've had countless 1911's and never had this issue. Once SA repaired it, it has been flawless, jr
I filed my 3/16 - 1/4 Inch Guide Rod Down where I was COMFORTABLE...SHOOTS GREAT NO KINKS OR ANY ISSUE EVER 1100 and Counting...AND NO MORE PINS OR PAPER CLIPS>>>And Looks Cool...I got 2 Black Holes Staring at Yeah...LOL
The only issue I am having with the tool less guide rod is when putting it back together to put the slide stop back in. The guide rod pushes against that loop(?) Then the little lever releases in front against the slide and wants to shoot the slide forward before I even have a chance to out the slide stop and in line it up.
@Clapacino Well, you know the TRP, for the money, is an awesome seller for Springfield. They just can't keep them in stock. My LGS placed and order 2 years ago and they just started trickling in October of last year. A banged up used one sells for $950 and Springfield will still stand behind it even to the second owner. I had one issue and in 6 days they had me squared away. Keep it clean, change out your recoil spring at 500 rounds, and you'll be just fine!
@Clapacino I dont like the sights that come with it, they are too "ridged" and protrusive. They are springfield factory target night sights if im correct?...other then that I absolutely LOVE MY Springfield TRP. I'm glad for your affirmation that the FLGR isn't the issue and as I poder further I think my flyer shots are mainly due to the skinny ridged factory sights..what do you think Juan...anyone else you know getting weird flyers with the TRP 2007/08 1/2 rail model?
I have the Full rail and love the idea of the toolless guide rod...But,I have a 20pound spring on my 10mm RIA.....Too strong to push that spring with thumb to activate the lever...😪😪
I like the fact that you dont have to put the slide stop in under tension. I have an early model with a bushing and the hex key system, would this work on mine?
@juanriv01 Thanks Juan you're the best, I consider myself advanced in the knowledge of firearms but the whole reasoning behind the FLGR vs SGR issue has mystified me. As I myself could't think of anything other than faster disassembly for preferrence of an SGR. Having the FLGR myself in my 1/2 rail Operator I noticed flyer shots in my groups and wasnt sure if the bull barrel or FLGR was the issue, and also considered the sights on the trp as many I know replaced theirs with novack
juanriv01, I believe Nighthawk Custom has a better answer for those with bull barrelled TRPs. I was going to go the Dawson route, but I have read about them breaking. Nighthawk has a reverse plug that allows you to use a regular GI rod. It is true simplicity; 1 part.
Thanks! I purchased those grips from Dawson Precision. It’s just some funky logo, Japanese style writing. They are aggressive and looked cool. Gives it that touch
Holding up perfectly. Have about 350 rounds combined between two different TRP's. Spring tension on the lever feels just as strong as when purchased. Let me know how yours is doing for you. Thx, jr
For the full rail, if you're willing to use an allen key or tiny screw driver you can still do it just like the half rail. use the allen key to actuate the lever in the guide rod and boom. same thing. though it's not 100% toolless at that point but I'd rather do that than mash the guide rod out the front with my thumb and still more convenient than the paper clip.
@juanriv01 Strange flyer shots in my shot group is what is concerning me the most, every 8 shots or so I'll get a non-adherent group shot. At first I though there may be play in the barrel but i quickly realized the TRP was too tight for that to be true.. so my next hunch was the FLGR, now my new hunch is the factory sights being TOO precise if you know what I mean.
@Clapacino My experience has been the same as you. But when you start getting those tight groups you become a bit overconfident and your mechanics suffer. You notice that when you catch yourself and readjust, everything comes together again. I'm talking range targets and not steel plates.
It's pretty much everything I want out of a 1911. Pricey but worth it (to me). There are others out there with same features for less cost like the Remington R1 Enhanced.
So how easy is it to replace the recoil spring for maintenance? I’ve never had issues with taking down my full rail. I actually went with the 10-8 reverse plug so it disassembles like a GI. But am interested in this tool less guide rod just don’t know how easy it is to replace the recoil spring and setting up the guide rod to be put back in.
I just got my TRP Operator. I see you have 2. I do really like mine, and I assume that you like yours as much as I do, maybe more. But, Im not sure that my hatred for finding a paper clip is on par with yours. I am interested in this product, but I dont want to sacrifice reliability by offering a new component that may fail. So.... Now that it has been a few years, how is it working out for you? Any problems with this thing?
That's the only time that you will have to stand the guide rod on one end, push down on the spring while carefully pressing the release switch and easily sliding the spring off. The only time you would have to do this is when you fire a few 100 rounds. Otherwise, you can just drop it with the captive spring in your preferred solution and brush over it. jr
OnTheRise Quin more than likely, it’s your magazine. Remove the follower and spring and clean it with gun cleaning solution to get any grit out. Light lube and try again. If you only have one brand of mag, buy 1 of another and see if the same happens.
Hey juanriv can u please respond to this..I own the same trp..but I heard people talking about how I should replace my full length guid rod with a standard because springfield learned the full length was a mistake and makes the gun inaccurate??? is this correct..I am upset because i feel my trp is less accurate the my 1911 $450 gi model..when i paid 1300 for my trp
I've had the Dawson Precision Guide Rod installed in my TRP for years, it's fantastic.
Fantastic video. Couldn't be more clear. Appreciate you showing both TRP's. Thank you

another idia is fix the barrel lik to s boy scratching your gun when you try to re-assembling
Since it doesn't come with a recoil spring, you must use your old spring from your old guide rod and install it into the Dawson precision guide rod.
Juan -
thanks for this video - i bought the guide rod and installed it on my TRP today (which i only got 2 weeks ago) - perfect video and i thanked the guys at DP as well.

Thank you for your reply. I'll get this set up and let you know what i thought about it.
I love it when you say weapon! Weapon weapon weapon please say it one more time !
Weapon
Thank God, No more paper clip!!!!!!
I really like the full length guide rod in this setup!
hi juan I like the TRP 45 whith the tool-less guide rods I need to fix the link just like Ifixit in my other gun
The only issue I am having with the tool less guide rod is when putting it back together to put the slide stop back in. The guide rod pushes against that loop(?) Then the little lever releases in front against the slide and wants to shoot the slide forward before I even have a chance to out the slide stop and in line it up.
That was awesome. I'll be buying one now.. you also gained a new subscriber.

Your setup works great too. jr
Great video. Going to get one of those for my full- rail TRP. Subscribed to your channel also.
Sure, the gi guide rod works ok. It's been doing ok for over a hundred years

Great Video keep the info coming. Thanks!
will this fit a Kimber 1911 Custom II
Wow does help I see thanks for your helpful advise no scratching allowed :)
How do you like your TRP? I'm thinking of buying one. It is a pricey 1911.
It's pretty much everything I want out of a 1911. Pricey but worth it (to me). There are others out there with same features for less cost like the Remington R1 Enhanced.
I have the full rail TRP. Is all I need the tool less guide rod? Their website says something about springs.
Jerry Cherry Pie I had no problems with the included spring and tool less guide rod setup. Don’t know of any known issues
I noticed that there's a number scratch under the barrel (34). What does it mean?
wow thats awsome but why cant you put the regular gi guide rod and plug not the full length ?
So how easy is it to replace the recoil spring for maintenance?
I’ve never had issues with taking down my full rail. I actually went with the 10-8 reverse plug so it disassembles like a GI. But am interested in this tool less guide rod just don’t know how easy it is to replace the recoil spring and setting up the guide rod to be put back in.
On the website. It states that there is no recoil spring included. What did you do?
For 1911 45acp What kind of Recoil Spring? Thank you
I just got my TRP Operator. I see you have 2. I do really like mine, and I assume that you like yours as much as I do, maybe more. But, Im not sure that my hatred for finding a paper clip is on par with yours. I am interested in this product, but I dont want to sacrifice reliability by offering a new component that may fail. So.... Now that it has been a few years, how is it working out for you? Any problems with this thing?
This thing works flawlessly and has from the time I put it in. No worries!
Cool. Unfortunately, still not available in our place.
My TRP doesn't have a bull barrel. It's the stainless tactical model. And it has a two piece FLGR. Why didn't they just use a one piece?
@blkdawg Thanks for stopping by!
Does this work for the rail-less version of the TRP? If not; Is there a similar product that does?
Does the rod itself come apart so it can be cleaned properly?
Can I put one of these Guide rods into my Ruger SR 1911 & do away with the recoil plug etc. & If so how will this effect the gun's function etc.?
Can you use shock-buff with the too-less GR ?
Do you use the original recoil spring or do you have to buy a different one?
Is like same size . Ruger spring recoil p89 DC 5"
But what if i want to clean the guide rod and recoil spring, how would you release the lifted tab while its caught?
That's the only time that you will have to stand the guide rod on one end, push down on the spring while carefully pressing the release switch and easily sliding the spring off. The only time you would have to do this is when you fire a few 100 rounds. Otherwise, you can just drop it with the captive spring in your preferred solution and brush over it. jr
did you have any miss fires due to switching out this part? I'm having issues with the same with mine
OnTheRise Quin No misfires. Have you tried different ammo brands? Are you reloading? Just a few things to think about, jr
@@juanriv01 yes different amo brands and it happens mid clip I'd say. i changed the part back so well see when i take it out again
OnTheRise Quin more than likely, it’s your magazine. Remove the follower and spring and clean it with gun cleaning solution to get any grit out. Light lube and try again. If you only have one brand of mag, buy 1 of another and see if the same happens.
@@juanriv01 that's a good idea I did not think of that.. thank you very sir
nvm just saw the end of your vid. thank you very much
Great Job! I did not know there was a rod out there till today, so thank you! do they sell them for Kimber 1911 PRO CARRY 11 WITH LIGHT RAIL?
I second this question! Is there any updates??
Hey juanriv can u please respond to this..I own the same trp..but I heard people talking about how I should replace my full length guid rod with a standard because springfield learned the full length was a mistake and makes the gun inaccurate??? is this correct..I am upset because i feel my trp is less accurate the my 1911 $450 gi model..when i paid 1300 for my trp
i love that trp i wish i got when when i first saw it.
Great vid man.
